[PMID: 40218387 PMCID: PMC11987874 DOI: 10.3390/ani15070994] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2025] [Revised: 03/12/2025] [Accepted: 03/27/2025] [Indexed: 04/14/2025] Open
Abstract
The impact of exercise on human metabolism has been extensively studied, yet limited research exists on the effects of high-intensity racing on equine metabolism. The aim of this study was to screen the effect of a 5000 m race on lipids and proteins in the plasma of Yili horses for the breeding of racehorses. Blood samples were collected from the top three finishers, and lipidomics and proteomics analyses were performed. Lipidomic analysis identified 10 differential lipids. Compared to pre-race levels, phosphatidylethanolamine (18:0/16:0) (PE (18:0/16:0)) and phosphatidylcholine (18:0/18:2) (PC (18:0/18:2)) were significantly upregulated, while triglyceride (26:4/29:4) (TG (26:4/29:4)) and phosphatidylcholine (46:14CHO) (PC (46:14CHO)) were notably downregulated. These lipids were primarily associated with the regulation of lipolysis in adipocytes and glycerolipid metabolism pathways. Proteomic analysis revealed 79 differentially expressed proteins. Post-race, proteasome subunits (alpha type_2, alpha type_5 isoform X1, alpha type_6, and beta type_2), carboxypeptidase E, and S-phase kinase-associated protein 1 showed significant downregulation. These proteins were primarily involved in the cellular catabolic process (Gene Ontology term) and pathways related to the proteasome and type I diabetes mellitus (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes terms). Correlation analysis indicated a significant positive correlation between proteasome subunits (alpha type_2 and beta type_2) and PC (18:0/18:2), while a significant negative correlation was found with PC (46:14CHO). Conversely, S-phase kinase-associated protein 1, along with proteasome subunits (alpha type_5 isoform X1 and alpha type_6), exhibited a significant negative correlation with PE (18:0/16:0) and a positive correlation with TG (26:4/29:4). In conclusion, Yili horses may sustain energy balance and physiological equilibrium during racing by suppressing protein degradation and optimizing lipid metabolism. The differentially expressed substances identified could serve as key biomarkers for assessing exercise load in horses.

Abstract
Raman microspectroscopy has become an effective method for analyzing the molecular appearance of biomarkers in skin tissue. For the first time, we acquired in vitro Raman spectra of healthy and malignant skin tissues, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), at 532 and 785 nm laser excitation wavelengths in the wavenumber ranges of 900-1800 cm-1 and 2800-3100 cm-1 and analyzed them to find spectral features for differentiation between the three classes of the samples. The intensity ratios of the bands at 1268, 1336, and 1445 cm-1 appeared to be the most reliable criteria for the three-class differentiation at 532 nm excitation, whereas the bands from the higher wavenumber region (2850, 2880, and 2930 cm-1) were a robust measure of the increased protein/lipid ratio in the tumors at both excitation wavelengths. Selecting ratios of the three bands from the merged (532 + 785) dataset made it possible to increase the accuracy to 87% for the three classes and reach the specificities for BCC + SCC equal to 87% and 81% for the sensitivities of 95% and 99%, respectively. Development of multi-wavelength excitation Raman spectroscopic techniques provides a versatile non-invasive tool for research of the processes in malignant skin tumors, as well as other forms of cancer.

Raman Spectroscopy and Cystic Fibrosis Disease: An Alternative Potential Tool for Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) Modulator Response Differentiation-A Pilot Study Based on Serum Samples. Molecules 2024; 29:433.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder that alters chloride transport in mucous membranes. Recent studies have demonstrated that treatment with modulators of the chloride channel reduces inflammatory markers, restoring, among others, the imbalance of lipids. In this study, we analyzed the serum samples of treated and non-treated patients with modulators with Raman spectroscopy. Nineteen (eight treated an eleven non-treated) patients were considered. The main difference between the two groups appeared in the 3020-2800 cm-1 range. A Voigt deconvolution fit was performed, and nine sub-bands were identified. To distinguish between treated and non-treated patients, the area ratio between the CH3 and CH2 vibration modes was calculated for each patient. The results were validated using statistical analyses. In particular, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Youden index (Y) were calculated (Area Under Curve (AUC): 0.977; Y: 3.30). An ROC curve represents the performance of the classification, illustrating the diagnostic ability of Raman spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy is able to highlight peculiar differences between elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI)-treated and non-treated patients, in relation with lipids biomarkers.
